Psychics grill historical icons on news

Who needs pollsters to gather what people are thinking when there are psychics available instead.

John and Martha McGinnis are the authors of “Psychic Readings With The Thinkers of Heaven” and, although they admit that they have no formal training in psychic readings, they claim that, through meditative techniques, they’ve been able to have conversations with historical leaders and that, during those conversations, current events came up.

Thomas Edison, who died in 1931, weighed in to the authors about President Barack Obama.

“This president fulfills his role in history,” Edison told the McGinnis couple. “He is attempting to balance forces in the United Sates right now. He can’t damage your country. You will come back from this.”

Of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, former Supreme Court Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., tells the psychics, “He is a genial man and a gentleman. I believe he facilitates communication among members of the Court. But I think the Supreme Court needs to be careful. It is losing its influence.”

The authors also said they talked to Winston Churchill and asked him “how the United States and Britain would dig out of the current economic crisis.”

“We dug out before, and we will do it again,” Churchill tells them. “The fact that the west bounced back from the Great Depression proves that this is soluble. This is really nothing. It is a blip.”

If this sounds unbelievable, the authors concede as much in the book’s introduction.

“What if you could speak with the lucky inhabitants of heaven and ask them all your questions about God, angels, heaven, hell, the human soul, and heaven’s view of our actions on earth? Preposterous, you would say, and so would we a year ago. But life holds many surprises.”
